Looks like a good roller, all depends on the cost? ( another girl...should be Penny's bad ass little bro)
I've always thought a great start would be from this place Mike Custom Cars-

Maybe not what what your looking for just a thought and doesn't make for a exciting start for a mag article. Add the cost of your roller then all the repair to get it to that stage seems like a fair price?
But back to the start..... did you buy it and for how much??
